ICE said it would not make sweeps and would instead target specific individuals, and that a courthouse is a safe and convenient place for its agents to do their work. But critics say the policy creates an atmosphere of fear among people affected by crime and family members, and breaks the trust that should exist between crime victims, law enforcement and courts.

Are courthouses a suitable location for ICE agents to be making arrests? Is this formalized policy a pushback on recent sanctuary state policies? Will it affect anything?
